Chapter 486: Twin Star Fall (16)

Fall back! When Sherman told the guards beside him the order, he directly turned around and left the city gate tower with a purple-shirted longbow and 3 pots of arrows, except for those soldiers who fought with the soldiers of the Water Qilin Empire who relied on the siege tower to attack on the city wall, and the soldiers who were assigned to guard 5 gaps, the rest of the soldiers who originally stayed behind the city wall as a reserve did not hesitate to carry as much as possible what they had beside them after receiving the order, even if it was a few stone bricks, a target or some iron cages, They poured into Rapids Fort one after another.

As for why the soldiers of the sun never set did not divide their troops into 3 ways, let the soldiers of the sun never set move towards the south and north gates of the second layer of the wall of Fort Riptide, so that they could enter the second layer of the wall of Fort Riptide from there to increase the speed of the influx of soldiers, the reason is very simple, because the two areas in the north and south have been turned into two dead places in the construction of the previous defense system, and in the dead places where the two houses have been razed to 60%, except for the killing traps and sharp barbed wire and wooden stakes that make people's scalps tingle, There are also puddles of water piled up by fireoil, even those houses that have not had time to be demolished are sprinkled with fireoil, and there are even flammable materials piled up around them to be calculated in tons of weight, as long as they don't want to find death, they will not run away in this direction, even the water qilin soldiers who entered the city later.

After all, the smell of gasoline in the north and south cities is too choking, as long as the veterans who have been on the battlefield know what this smell represents, so let alone those generals of the Water Qilin Empire, although it seems that there are no obstacles in this area, no one can guarantee how many elite soldiers will be ambushed there after they have worked hard to break through this area and detour to the west area of Riptide Fort. Of course, it was not that the officer did not mention that he would use rocket arrows to ignite the oil first, and then move the troops to the north and south after it was extinguished, but this proposal was quickly rejected, because the commander of the Water Kirin's side, that is, its emperor, could not guarantee that if the fire spread, it would not spread to the Dongcheng district that his army now occupied in Riptide Fort.

"Tsk, what a tough bone!" Looking at the same height of 20 meters in front of them, and even the defense facilities built above the city wall were exactly the same as before, many of the generals of the Water Qilin Empire did not look very good. However, it is no wonder that it took tens of thousands of soldiers' lives and 24 days of hard work on his side to finally occupy the outer wall of this giant fortress for 4 points and 1 and occupy the eastern area of the outer city by the way, but what appeared in front of everyone was another city wall with the same defensive ability as the outer city wall, and the current situation also seemed to be unable to outflank this city wall, so he could only continue to break through face to face, which would not be happy for any general.

However, regardless of whether everyone's faces and mood were good or bad, after the soldiers on the Water Qilin side rested and let them have lunch, as the supreme commander of the Water Qilin Middle Route Army: the emperor of the Water Qilin Empire asked his subordinates to lead the siege ladders and siege towers to start attacking the city wall (the siege towers on the Water Qilin side were too slender to enter the inner city through the gap), and the 3 "Watt War Hammers" docked outside the city could not enter the outer city of Riptide Fort because of their own size.

The fact that the water unicorn siege vehicle could enter the outer city of Riptide Castle through the gap was obviously not expected by the sunset, which can be seen from the war equipment arranged on the second layer of the castle wall: although the height, width, and thickness of the second layer of the city wall are the same as the outer walls, there are only scorpion crossbows and canister throwing bows above these walls, except for the giant crossbow and the No. 3 counterweight trebuchet that have not been placed at all.

Of course, the Sunset side was not without remedies after seeing the Water Qilin Empire's siege vehicles pass through the gap, which can be seen from Sherman's request for the Sunset engineers in the city to dismantle the land battle scorpion crossbows placed on the giant cylindrical arrow towers on the inner city wall, and instead place the giant crossbow and No. 3 counterweight trebuchet that were dismantled from the top of the outer city wall and transported to the city inside the city before, but this is obviously a remedy, and at least until the Water Qilin side breaks through the second layer of the wall of Riptide Castle, these war equipment is unusable, Because the existence of the second layer of the city wall has blocked the firing path of these improvised war equipment.

However, in fact, the current situation is not very critical, because in addition to the giant crossbow held by the sunset, there is also a highly penetrating war weapon: the land battle scorpion crossbow. As the No. 4 scorpion crossbow on which the sun never sets, because the Western Continent has the existence of the Atlantans, and the Atlantans can make powerful shark stone cannons, so as early as the last time Sun Lin came to the Western Continent to fight, when he recruited the Land Scorpion Crossbow from the siege equipment factory in the Western Continent, Sun Lin was pleasantly surprised to find from the system that there was a copper-colored sword logo under the card representing the Land War Scorpion Crossbow, and after the explanation of the system, the reason for this situation was because the Atlanta craftsmen were producing the Land War Scorpion Crossbow. Involuntarily used the method of producing shark stone cannons to build, so that the power of the land scorpion crossbow produced in the Western Continent is better than that of the land scorpion crossbow produced in other regions.

Because of this, the power of the land battle scorpion crossbows placed on the city wall in front of the Water Qilin soldiers is actually quite likely to destroy a slender siege tower like the Water Qilin Empire. And if the head of the Land Scorpion Crossbow is soaked in fire oil, then ignited and then fired, there is a 15% chance that it will be set on fire after hitting the siege towers of the Water Kirin Empire.

Therefore, in the next two days, the second city wall attack and defense battle that almost did not stop from the beginning to the end, the soldiers who guarded the city wall did not set with the enhanced version of the land battle scorpion crossbow in their hands, and shot down one siege tower after another, but the water qilin side was obviously prepared for this march into the western continent, otherwise in the attack and defense battle of Torrent Fort in the past 1 month, it stands to reason that the siege towers on the water qilin side should have been consumed after losing nearly 150 siege towers, not like now, It seems that the siege towers of the Water Qilin Empire are pouring into the outer city little by little from the gaps in the outer city wall like toothpaste.

Because of this, coupled with the fact that the houses in the outer city of the eastern part of Riptide Fort were almost not destroyed, so that in just two days, the Water Qilin side had already laid several footholds above the second city wall.
